[Intro]
F#
B D# G#m Steve's going to London C#m B F# Shawn's stuck in a suit B D# G#m E Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn C#m E Like every other afternoon B D# G#m Steve's going to London C#m B F# Dan peed in the pool B D# G#m E Tom fell for his best friend's mom C#m E B But what the hell you gonna do?
[Verse 1]
E Hey hey, look around, look around B F# Wouldn't it be nice for someone to miss ya? E Hey-hey, funny how all the things B F# That you used to like, now they depress ya
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m F# B E (Ooo) While you try to find some meaning in your life before you're gone C#m F# E (Ooo) There's a song that don't mean anything at all
N.C.
And it sounds like
[Chorus]
B D# G#m Steve's goin' to London C#m B F# Shawn's stuck in a suit B D# G#m E Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn C#m E Like every other afternoon B D# G#m Steve's goin' to London (Ah, ah, ah, aah) C#m B F# Dan peed in the pool (Ah, ah, ah, aah) B D# G#m E Tom fell for his best friend's mom C#m But what the hell you gonna E What the hell you gonna do?

[Verse 2]
E Hey hey, look around, look around B F# Wouldn't it be nice to see me on TV? E I'd dress to the nines with a smile B F# And you'd probably think that that was the real me
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m F# B E (Ooo) While you try to find some meaning in your life before you die C#m F# E (Ooo) Here's a bunch of random shit to waste your time
N.C.
And it sounds like
[Chorus]
B D# G#m Steve's goin' to London C#m B F# Shawn's stuck in a suit B D# G#m E Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn C#m E Like every other afternoon B D# G#m Steve's goin' to London (Ah, ah, ah, aah) C#m B F# Dan peed in the pool (Ah, ah, ah, aah) B D# G#m E Tom fell for his best friend's mom C#m But what the hell you gonna E What the hell you gonna do?

[Bridge]
You- you make this rather snappy, won't you?
E G#m B (Ah, ah, aah) E G#m B (Ah, ah, ah)
[Verse 3]
E I try hard to write a cool song G#m B So I start with something simple, like trying to put my shoes on E G#m Now something kinda clicked, 'cause you relate a bit B But no one's gonna care about a shoe song E I try hard to write a cool song G#m B But I gotta make it matter so maybe I'll throw the news on E G#m Could I relate the shoes to 2022 B Or maybe an election down in Tucson? E I try throwing something cool on G#m B So I'm listening to Kendrick and playing the swimming pool song E But why did I do that? G#m 'Cause now I hate my track B I'm quite aware I'll never write a cool song E But who really needs a cool song? F# G#m B There's so many better melodies why do you need a new one? E B/D# C#m So stop writing a song about writing a song E You're losing their attention, buddy, move on
[Chorus]
B D# G#m Steve's goin' to London (What the hell?) C#m B F# Shawn's stuck in a suit B D# G#m E Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn C#m E Like every other afternoon B D# G#m Steve's goin' to London (Ah, ah, ah, aah) C#m B F# Dan peed in the pool (Ah, ah, ah, aah) B D# G#m E Tom fell for his best friend's mom C#m But what the hell you gonna E What the hell you gonna do?
[Post-Chorus]
G#m F# E B F#/A#
G#m F# E B F#/A# What the hell you gonna do?
G#m F# E B F#/A#
G#m F# E B F#/A# What the hell you gonna do?
